Highways
U.S. Highway 101 travels only about 4 miles through the most westerly section of San Benito County, connecting the three most widely used arteries to navigate through the county.

Highway 129 crosses Highway 101 at San Juan Bautista and continues west to the unincorporated, quaint town of Aromas. Here, where the counties of Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties meet, is headquarters to one of San Benito County's larger employers, Granite Rock.

Highway 25 connects to Highway 101 just South of Gilroy and is used by those who commute to Silicon Valley from Hollister. This highway has been recently proclaimed a highway safety corridor where the speed limit is strictly enforced. For real beauty, it is worth the drive as Highway 25 continues southward toward the Pinnacles National Monument (Highway 146), the remote areas of Paicines and Bitterwater, and onward to King City and Coalinga. Off Highway 25 are County roads that lead to the very remote areas of Panoche Valley, New Idria and Hernandez Reservoir.

Highway 156 intersects with Highway 152, the major thoroughfare from the San Joaquin Valley and Interstate 5. Highway 156 is used by trucks loaded with produce from the hubs of Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Salinas, Monterey, Castroville and Watsonville. Highway 156 is the only route that links Hollister and San Juan Bautista.

Hollister Airport
The pages of the original log book are faded, dog-eared and tattered, but still the recording of the first airplane to land in the San Benito County airport was on December 10th, 1912 at 12:30AM. on a night run from Los Angeles to Alameda. 

Turner Field, named after the owners of the 160-acre parcel, was made possible by the generous and public-spirited brothers, A. G. and E.J. Turner, when the Chamber of Commerce found the need for such a facility. In 1923, the Turner brothers were asked to put a rental fee on their property and immediately offered the field for five years at no cost. Several business provided materials and labor for improvements to the property and the Board of Supervisors provided the gravel and water for sanitary conveniences.

Turner field was called one of the most progressive schools of instruction on the Pacific Coast. The perfectly level field was acclaimed as one of the largest and best fields in California. 

Today, the facilities attract business and recreational pilots, skydivers, gliders and vintage plane enthusiasts. Fixed-based operators service aircraft, rent planes and give flying lessons. Crop-dusters use the airport, as do  the California Department of Forestry and fire protections air tankers. Gavilan College trains its aircraft maintenance students there as well. 

There is no control tower, or any navigational radio aids, but pilots use Unicom 123.0 to communicate with each other while in the Hollister Airport vicinity. Runway 31 (31/13) is the usual active and is 6,250 feet in length. A 1,100 foot overrun at the approach end provides and effective length of over 7,000 feet. Runway 24 (24 / 6) 3,150feet in length is often used after 3PM when the afternoon winds come up. Both runways are lighted with pavement strength ratings of 30,000 pounds of single wheel aircraft, and 45,000 pounds for duel wheel aircraft. 

Surrounding the airport's 347 acres are nearly 2,000 acres ready for development.

Plans include an airpark, hotels, restaurants, museum and other amenities.
